Studying the Prognostic Value of Clinical, Electroencephalographic and Neuro-imaging Findings in Predicting Outcomes of Coma in Pediatric Patients
Abstract
Coma in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) carries high morbidity and mortality. Predicting outcomes remains a challenge, particularly due to limited data integrating clinical, electroencephalographic (EEG), and neuroimaging findings. Objectives: To evaluate the predictive value of clinical, EEG, and neuroimaging findings as predicting factors of coma in PICU. Methods: This is a prospective observational study that was conducted at Al-Hussein University Hospital over 18 months (April 2023- October 2024), including 50 children (2 months- 18 years) admitted with coma (Glasgow Coma Scale
